Montfort is a Catholic School. The mission is to nurture everyone to become compassionate and discerning individuals through a holistic education
The vision is for everyone to be a Man for Others at the end of his education at Montfort. He should be a compassionate and discerning individual who is a scholar, sportsman, gentleman, leader and ABOVE ALL, a MAN FOR OTHERS. He lives his life in the spirit of the motto, "Age Quod Agis" or "Do Well in Whatever You Do".

This is a school is on the outskirts of Kuala Lumpur. It is a government school aimed at racial integration in line with the Malaysian vision set for 2020. There are 3 separate Malay, Chinese and Tamil schools which share the same premises. Guru Besar or Principal Kamaruzzaman Yahya was on hand to show us around the school and give us a warm presentation.

Set up in 1959 by our very owen Bro. Elzear (Bertrand Roberge), an old teacher of Montfort Secondary, Boy's Town grew to serve the needs of the underprivileged. Operating like Boy's Town in Singapore, "He Ain't Heavy, He's my Brother" was the motto.

The humble hospitality displayed to us by the Brothers of St Gabriels, the staff and students there was most memorable and warm.

There was a quote which struck many of us there, "Those whom the world rejects must move you the most".

Another was: "For the Youth, By the Youth, With the Youth"

c. Kluang, JohorWe visited Mr Simen's old primary school and secondary school. We also meet his brothers, sisters and mother who cooked a hearty meal to welcome us. We also attended Tamil mass in the church where he was raised.

We visited his old home, paid homage to Brother Mango and Brother coconut, scuttled along the railroad tracks behind the house, ran across to the Hindu Temple nearby and sat along the railway tracks 'shooting the breeze'.

Reliving his youth, Mr Simen also ran down a 25m steep slope, sprinted 100m like he was finishing a race yet unfinished.

The team arrived back at Singapore 2:30am, Monday morning.

Assembly Talk - 7 May 2007

Mr Simen spoke about his trip to Malaysia in brief and spoke about his sprint. He spoke about how discipline and focus were key elements to success.

About Me

Excellence is an important feature of life.
But it does not come from ‘an exact conformity to the maxims and fashions of the world, not from a state of the art infrastructure, or high ranks and medals.
Rather, excellence is measured by striving for and possessing true Wisdom.
It is the ability to judge all things with keen discernment and deep understanding, energy, vigor and passion for all that is good, the ability to communicate the experience of true Wisdom to others with conviction, and the virtues of lively faith, firm hope, ardent charity, well-ordered temperance, complete prudence, perfect justice and invincible fortitude. - Montfort Education Charter, 2010
